Medical Xpress / For the first time, a mechanism enabling breast cancer to metastasize to the brain has been deciphered
A large-scale international study, led by researchers from the Gray Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences at Tel Aviv University, has uncovered a mechanism that allows breast cancer to send metastases to the brain—a highly ...
Medical Xpress / AI uncovers two distinct multiple sclerosis types
Artificial intelligence (AI), using a simple blood test combined with standard brain images has, for the first time, been able to identify two biologically distinct types of multiple sclerosis (MS), in research led by UCL ...
Medical Xpress / Remote Alzheimer's testing: At-home blood tests can accurately detect key biomarkers
A new international study has demonstrated that Alzheimer's disease biomarkers can be accurately detected using simple finger-prick blood samples that can be collected at home and mailed to laboratories without refrigeration ...
